Yeah, and it's the worst kind of flat as well.

He'll score quicker, but he's also much more liable to get himself out - which, worst case scenario, might the be #1 cause of dismissal throughout the Test. Vihari could totally Pujara the MCG.

Well apparently they've removed the concrete slab from under the pitch.

It's a shame people have suggested dropping the 2 players that scored 47% of the runs in that innings

I know we haven't had any cricket in Melbourne this year, but I think all this talk of an MCG road is premature.
In 2017, MCG received an ICC ranking of 'Poor' (2nd lowest above 'Unfit'). In 2018 it was ranked 'Average' and in 2019 it was 'Very Good', the highest ranking you can get.
To me this means they've worked out the pitch issues and I'm hoping for a fantastic Test.

Pat Cummins on the MCG pitch
"As a bowler, last year against New Zealand, it was a really good wicket, a bit of sideways movement and a bit of pace and bounce, so, hopefully, much the same,"

It wasn't. It just wasn't a draw so they got away with it.

Chopra jumping hoops to make a case for giving Shaw one more chance. Noble intentions and agreed that one Test is too small a sample size in a 4-Test series for your chosen opener, but can't really see him coming good against this attack, not with where his head and technique are atm. Tough call either way, not dissimilar to what Aus once faced with Hughes (RIP).

Not dropping Shaw would be crueler on him than dropping him right now.

Yeah, he's a really young guy at the start of his career and currently out of his depth. Take him out the firing line

Why it's not time to give up on Prithvi Shaw yet
We might not understand his methods, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't give him chances to succeed or fail before writing him off

Legit Aakash Chopra sounds so cringey. "Before writing him off"? What sort of prose is that? The guy is 21 and has played a handful of tests. That's it. No need to forensically analyse his game. He'll come again in due course
